It is possible to create the following key (and any other keys!):

    <xsl:key name="kRtlMode" match="*[ancestor-or-self::*[@dir='rtl']]"
     use="generate-id()"/>

just during the initial reading of the xml document -- without any
walking up the ancestor axis.

That is, when the currently-read node satisfies:

  @dir='rtl'

then the "key-recording-mode" for the key named 'kRtlMode' is turned
on and key-values are generated for each element while this
"key-recording-mode" is on.

To summarise, it is perfectly possible to create the above key without
walking up the ancestor axis for the nodes.
